A General Motors representative told Business Insider on Tuesday that the White House “has no involvement” in the automaker's negotiations with the United Auto Workers — the union that represents manufacturing employees at GM, Ford, and Fiat Chrysler.
The statement comes two days after President Donald Trump urged GM and the UAW to reach an agreement.
“Here we go again with General Motors and the United Auto Workers. Get together and make a deal!” Trump tweeted on Sunday.
The White House responded to GM's assertion on Tuesday, saying: “The Trump Administration, including Larry Kudlow and Peter Navarro, are not involved in the negotiations between the UAW and GM. As President Trump has said, we would like to see a fair and speedy conclusion to these talks.”
